Jennifer Lopez returns to her New York roots for her latest show-stopping shoot

Speaking about her relationship with Alex, she revealed: "I do believe in marriage, and I would love to grow old with somebody in a committed relationship.

"But I'm not forcing anything right now. It's good, it's healthy; we communicate well. We understand each other's lives in a way that most other people couldn't. We both entered the public eye in our early 20s and overachieved right from the start.

"And that affects every dynamic in your life, from your family to your work to your relationships. We have a similar makeup."

Jennifer also claimed that Hollywood icon Jane Fonda is her beauty inspiration, citing that she "really leans in to the big fundamentals, like getting her rest, eight to 10 hours. She doesn't drink, doesn't smoke. She lives a very clean life."

Jennifer added: "When I did speak up, I was terrified. I remember my heart beating out of my chest, thinking, 'What did I do? This man is hiring me!' It was one of my first movies. But in my mind I knew the behaviour wasn't right. It could have gone either way for me.

"But I think ultimately the Bronx in me was like, 'Nah, we're not having it.'"
